great info. Imagine installing it into a lifesized FT robot!

  I have been wondering for a while about having Alicebot be the control interface of my pc. 
  By that I mean, have the bot monitor the pc and give it control over the variables of the system, acting as a control interface and advisor.

  Perhaps this is already available. 

  If you had that and voice control, then you have HAL.

  Hi there,

I am wondering is there anyone, who might be interested in tutoring an absolute novice ( that would be me).

Thanks
